What you need

A product reference and approved headline, offer and CTA. Use fictional copy for practice and label it illustrative. This is a design test, not an ad-performance test.

Work through the exercise

  1. Draw three boxes for headline, product and CTA on paper or in a drawing app. Attach the sketch as layout guidance and the product photo as identity guidance; distinguish their jobs.
  2. Fill the exact-copy prompt and generate one layout. Check spelling, price, punctuation and implied claims against your supplied copy. Do not let a model choose an offer for you.
  3. Inspect at the size a phone viewer would see, then at full resolution. If the image works but the type does not, keep the artwork and typeset the copy in your editor.
  4. Save the export with the original brief and a completed check list. Record design acceptance separately from any later campaign results.

A prompt to adapt

Replace the bracketed inputs with your own approved material. Keep unknown facts marked unknown.

Make a 4:5 ad-layout draft. Attached sketch controls placement only; attached product photo controls product identity.
Headline, exactly: [approved headline].
Offer, exactly: [approved offer or leave blank].
CTA, exactly: [approved CTA].
Hierarchy: headline first, product second, CTA third. Leave comfortable margins; no tiny footnotes.
Keep the product unchanged. Do not add badges, discounts, ratings, scarcity, testimonials or performance claims.
If text cannot fit legibly, leave a clean text area rather than shortening or rewriting the approved copy.

Review your result

  • Every character and number matches the approved copy.
  • The headline and CTA remain readable at phone size.
  • The product and offer are accurate; no invented proof appears.

If it fails

Generate a text-free background and place approved copy yourself. Fixing typography separately is a successful handoff, not a failed exercise.

Nothing by itself. Design review and campaign measurement answer different questions.

Sources and tools

This is an original club exercise. The source-check date identifies this reference edition; it is not a result from running the prompt.

Cirka is our founder's app. We use it as an optional creative workspace in these examples. A separate subscription or credits may be required. Check the tools and models actually available in your account; a model mentioned in a guide is not a claim of Cirka integration.
